Features: This book summarizes the research work completed by the author since 1992, including the National "Eight-Five" Key Project sub-topic "Modeling and Reliability Study of Serviceability Resistance Degradation of Structures," the National Natural Science Foundation project "Reliability Analysis and Remaining Life Prediction of Serviceability Structures," and the National(B) "Durability Design and Evaluation of Concrete Structures." The book systematically and comprehensively discusses the durability and life assessment of concrete structures in general atmospheric environments, with a focus on evaluation models for concrete carbonation and steel corrosion in concrete, the structural performance degradation and load-bearing capacity calculation methods for corroded reinforced concrete members, existing resistance degradation models and reliability analysis, as well as life and remaining life assessment methods based on various functional requirements. This book is available for reference use by scientific researchers, engineering technicians, teachers and graduate students in universities and colleges, as well as undergraduate students in the field of civil engineering.
